I was walking around a local Walmart and saw these on an end cap. They had no price tag, so I scanned it with the Walmart app and they came out to $249.99. I picked up 2 and they still had 6 more on the shelf.

I use an old Celeron with Quicksync. I've personally hit 22 1080p at once. I don't transcode 4k so couldn't give you an estimate there.
It's amazing how many people don't realize this and frequently recommend adding GPUs for Plex. That's not needed and purely a waste of money. Even the Plex subreddit has hoards of individuals frequently recommending a GPU for Plex. Feel free... but it's a waste of money.
edit: Use Linux in this use case to avoid any headaches. I recommend Ubuntu

Same brown box - this is the normal box? Not a refurb?

Fortunately, you are reading your hard drive much more often than writing onto it
Optane going into the empty M.2 slot here
I have computers with NVME drives and with Optane chips. I know what both can do.

How'd you know if he's a good parent. What if instead of watching and supervising his kids, he's just letting them play on the computer 20 hours a day?.... Just kidding! 😂😂😂🖥️💻😊😁

There's no way this would be an improvement for you. In many applications, it would be worse.
